While I’m not a huge television person, I do tend to leave the husband to his own devices at night ( and by this I mean John Wayne and MSNBC, not self gratification ) and curl up in bed with a remote of my own on occasion.
More often than not? I’ll be watching some dry as toast documentary that no one else finds the least bit appealing.
Case in point?
Yeah…. I loved it.
And if you’re wondering why the husband and I have to watch separate tv’s?
I once made him watch a 4 part series about Kublai and Genghis Khan called “Mongol Horde… Storm From The East”. He fell asleep 10 minutes into every episode and still never forgave me.
On my current DVR list?
Forbidden History is my jam.
Juicy secrets from the past….. what’s not to love?
I just discovered Unearthed.
And have been walking through the Valley of the Kings, marveling over ancient Thebes and reading hieroglyphs from the Temple of Karnak …. in my pajamas.
You can’t beat that with a stick.
I also record PBS’s Nature.
And now want a pet Pangolin.
I mean really…
How could I not?
I don’t blame you – (s)he is adorable.

That’s one messed up looking animal. Couldn’t decide if it wanted to look reptilian or mammal-like.

The best of both worlds! I’ve always preferred the weirdos over the cute.

I’m not big on TV either. However if I watch it has to be a mystery/police procedural or a comedy or something from England. Husband prefers action movies that put me to sleep in about 10 minutes. Multiple television sets allow us to be happily married.

Multiple televisions…. and bathrooms. Who needs romance when you have that?

Speaking of ancient history, would you like to hear my life story?
No? Good. Because I wouldn’t like to tell it (what my wife doesn’t know won’t hurt her).

Unless you’ve been mummified… or know what happened to the Library of Alexandria? I’m probably not interested…

I’ve come to the conclusion that until I finish watching the 33 movies, series, documentaries on Netflix the COVID-19 won’t end!!

Yes! I like Mysteries at the Museum as well.
Though the husband will argue the dry documentary statement. After the Mongols? I made him watch The Search for the Trojan War…. all 6 parts.

I watched about half the Roosevelts. I love PBS tho — truly. Unless it’s about history, it puts my husband to sleep, but I sit there riveted.
